The Amarillo Little Theatre Academy and AAA Electric are excited to present a fun new take on Roald Dahl’s James & the Giant Peach. This delightfully upbeat new musical adaptation will bring James and his band of bugs to life on stage for our audiences. With a wickedly tuneful score from the songwriters of the smash hit film, The Greatest Showman, this show is undoubtedly a “masterpeach.”
When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach… and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach and on a dangerous voyage among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities.
“I can’t wait for Amarillo audiences to float along on this epic journey with us.” said Director Harrison Stringer. “With music by the songwriters behind The Greatest Showman, families are sure to leave whistling a tune or two or three!”
James & the Giant Peach features 67 Academy students and is directed by Academy Director Harrison Stringer. Academy instructors Austen Jones and Beth Alexander serve as Music Director and Choreographer, respectively. This kooky cast of characters is brought to life with Costume Design by Tiffany Laur, and the Scenic Design by Tana Roberson brings the audience right into the heart of this epic peach. Rounding out the production team are Krystal Burns as Assistant Director and Carla Fristoe and Tres Norris as Production Assistants.
This outlandish musical is being presented March 21st – 30th. Ticket prices are $22.00 for ages 12 and up and $18.00 for under 12. Tickets go on sale to ALT season ticket holders on March 3rd and to the general public on March 10th. Reservations can be made by calling the ALT box office at (806) 355-9991 or online at www.amarillolittletheatre.org. This performance will take place at the Allen Shankles Mainstage – 2019 Civic Circle.
James & the Giant Peach is a fantastical adventure that celebrates found family and chasing big – no, giant – dreams. Make your reservations today!
